FROM THE ILLUSTRATOR: Dear friends, and you who have followed Delfina's quick-change adventures---or want to---are indeed dear friends. It was the dream of a lifetime to illustrate "If a Dolphin Were a Fish" and I am honored to be able to share her story and my pictures with you. Every summer my family would come to Florida on vacation, and I would sit on my grandmother's patio drawing and making up stories. Even then, my favorite characters were dolphins and manatees. I remember the feelings of joy and excitement that came over me whenever I saw a dorsal fin in the water. I am grateful that the thrill never went away; I still smile whenever I see a wild dolphin, and now I have been given the opportunity to turn my childhood patio pictures into a real book, filled not only with dolphins but with other wild and whimsical animals you've never seen before! Of course, that's the beauty of books--anything can happen. So thank you for sharing the fun, and thank you so much for sharing my dolphin smile!
Best wishes, Laurie Allen Klein
